Abstract

In this paper we study the singular set of Dirichlet-minimizing QQ-valued maps from Rm\mathbb{R}^m into a smooth compact manifold N\mathcal{N} without boundary. Similarly to what happens in the case of single valued minimizing harmonic maps, we show that this set is always (m3)(m-3)-rectifiable with uniform Minkowski bounds. Moreover, as opposed to the single valued case, we prove that the target N\mathcal{N} being non-positively curved but not simply connected does not imply continuity of the map.
